MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned that Shlemenko and Galesic have verbally agreed to meet at Bellator 50. Bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

Although Bellator officials have yet to announce any contests for the event, Bellator 50 takes place Sept. 17 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

The night’s main card airs on MTV2. Galesic vs. Shlemenko is expected to feature on the broadcast.

Galesic recently snapped a two-fight losing streak with a first-round knockout win over Lee Chadwick following a 16-month layoff while recovering from injury. Galesic had previously dropped back-to-back fights to Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba and current Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza.

In 15 career fights, Galesic has fought out of the first round just once and has never had a bout go to a decision.

Meanwhile, Shlemenko has proven victorious in nine of his past 10 outings. “Storm” debuted for the promotion in April 2010 and promptly dispatched of Bryan Baker, Jared Hess and Matt Major to claim Bellator’s season-two tournament crown. Shlemenko then came up short in a hard-fought, 25-minute decision loss to Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard.

At just 27 years old, Shlemenko is nearing 50 fights in his career, and he’s already claimed 24 career knockout victories.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
